Out of curiosity, what prevents you from getting your MA out more than 500 meters? The reason I'm asking, ever since the latest firmware update, every time I fly my MA more than about 1,000 feet out, the signal is lost and the drone does an emergency RTH. I'm wondering whether other users are experiencing the same thing.

Hi Larry
With firmware 0.300, I managed to get around 1.2kms when pushing it, in Namibia (open spaces, no interference)
With 0.400, all sorts of things went wrong, could only get around 500 meters away, before rc disconnections, unstable drone, RTH on every second flight out of the blue, after signal loss etc etc. List goes on and on. Many people on this forum said it is and was not, and will never be Firmware related, but to each his own.
With 0.500, back to flying further, 1200 meters over the weekend, before video lag (NOT RC disconnection with auto RTH ) kicked in.
So, to me at least, the latest firmware is a improvement. No RC disconnection so far, Video freeze or lag only at around 1km, which is a HUGE improvement. Only RTH once, in 6 batteries, which is a 99% improvement over the previous firmware.
That said, my Air is stable, flying better etc, but having a gimbal re centre problem at the moment..... |
